PANAMA, April 13 "A Venezuela news
agency thus summarizes the Situation
of affairs respecting the British-Guana
frontier question with Venezuela: The
English. have taken possession of all the
territory up to Bornla and Amacuro,
thus depriying US of the exclusive do
minion on the Orinoco River. The
Venezuelan Government claimed this
Territory should ba evacuated, but the
British minister claimed that this &C
ton of his government was correct.
The answer was made to him that this
action violated the treaty of 1850, which
stipulate that neither party would ex-
ercise jurisdiction beyond Pemar, and
that if, prior to getting of the boundary
commissioners, matters were not placed
on the same footing on which they
stood in 1850, friendly relations would
DE interrupted and Venezuela would
protest.

A Heavy Strike Coming

. PITTsBURG, Pa, April 13.-The war
between the stove mouiders and manu-
facturers has reached Pittsburs, and
from thes present indications there will
be a general strike within few days.
The manufacturers have formed an
alliance known as the Stove Founders
National Defense Association, which
will conduct warfare on the part of
the manufacturers. To-day members
of the Defense Association in this city
received a confidential circular from D.
w. Thomas, secretary of the Defense
Association, which states that the
patterns of the boycotted St. Louis
firm of Bridge, Beach & Co., will be
sent to all the manufacturers in the
country, and that on certain day she
firms will be notified b. telegraph to
have holdings made from the same.
The moulders IN this city say they will
refuse to mold from these patterns,
and that any attempt to enforce them
to do so will preciputate a strike in all
the boundaries of the country. The
general executive committee OF the
National Defense Association is row in
session at Cleveland, arranging details
for the coming fight.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 13.-Various in
formal proceedings in connection with
the opening OF the sixth Parliament of
Canada took place this afternoon. The
Governor Generals speech will be de-
liVered tomorrow. It is understood
that the hope will be expressed by him
for an amicable settlement Of the fish
cries question; but nothing more will be
said OF the present state of the fisheries
affairs, except that assurance will be
gwen that steps have been taken to
protect the Canadians insnore fisher
les. It is definitely settled that the
Dominion government will ask for an
appropriation to build canal at Sault
Ste. Marie. on the Canadian side, to
connect Lakes Huron and Superior. It
is understood that the desire of the
government is to have an uninterrupted
Canadian wav from Lake Superior to
the Gulf o. St. Lawrence.

Dogs as Sheep Dsstroysrs.


The Port Tobacco Times reyives the
subject, which has been frequently dis
cussed' in the Sam, and also in the
county newspapers in recent years, o
the wholesale destruction of sheep by
dogs. In view of the necessity of more
varied products in Southern Maryland,
owing to the low prices OF tobacco, wheat
and corn, the raising of sheep has been
of making up the deficit in thefarmer's
revenues. Tobacco" says the Times.
sis no longer grown at a profit here and
wheat in most cases does not repay the
cost of production. But sheep culture
would pay if farmers were protected by
Jud;cious laws from the ravages of the
dogs. The present laws are inefficient
and of little avail to the injured party.
In Pennsylvania AMI other States they
have laws providing such police regula-
lions as go to the root of this evil, and
by well-regulated tax restrain the
wholesale!and indiscriminate breeding of
worthless ours, while at the same time,
with the proceeds of the taxes, provid-
ing an indemnity fund to the grower of
Sheep" Efforts to secure similar legis
lation in Maryland have been defeated
by the opposition or those owning dogs
who have no interest in sheep raising,
but it ought to be practicable to devise
some measure which would at least
afford the farmer some guaranty that
his investment In sheep shall not be at
the mercy OF all the stray ours in his

Chicago Chat

CHICAGO. April 13.-The Chicago
Daily News' special from Morris, Ills,
says: "All the evidence in the trial OF
Brakemen Schwartz and Watts for the
robbery and murder of Express Mes
senger Nichols. was completed this
evening. The testimony against the
prisoners has been purely circum-
stantial. The arguments begin to-
morrow. The case will probably be
given to the jury on Saturday.
The Pan Handle road has made the
same rates on freight from Pittsburg
to Keokuk and Burlington, as it
make to st. Louis, as the quarrel
between eastern and western lines has
resulted in the abrogation of prorating
and local rates are charged to and from
Chicago. This results in all of the
western business from Pittsburg being
diverted from Chicago.
The Lake Shore road, which is COM
petitor for Pittsburg business, and only
connects with the Chicago lines. is
threatening retaliation against the Pan
Handle. A committee appointed By
the Western Passenger Association to
propose report regarding excursion
rates, submitted one to-day. It directs
that special rates shall be given to state
fairs and large convention gatherings,
such as Knights Templar, Odd Fellows
and Grand Army of the Republic. The
association is now considering whether
those excursions shall be conducted on
the old certificate plan or thrown open
to the public on the date when the con-
ventions shall be held.

tanning the scenery and stage fixtures

in the detective bureau of this city,
that the stolen goods stored in the rear

$4,000 worth of valuables. Further
evidence of the magnitude of the theft
is contained in the statements
Of John Hampton, who has been
attending to the legal end of the case.
He says if the officials of the Pan
